Sync.com is the closest like-for-like Dropbox replacement for people who need encryption and client sharing in one place. Every plan lists end-to-end encryption, no third-party tracking, SOC 2 Type 1, HIPAA, GDPR and PIPEDA compliance. The free plan gives 5 GB and syncs up to 5 of your own devices. Personal 1TB is $9 a month billed annually on the current offer, which is $108 for the first year, and renews at the regular price after that. Solo 5TB adds custom branding and 180 days of file history, and Personal Unlimited removes the capacity limit with 365-day file recovery, though Sync notes upload speed management may apply beyond 10 TB. Sharing controls are a strong point: you can restrict downloads, password protect links, set granular permissions and remotely wipe shares. File requests, comments and Office 365 support are included. The catch is that there is no small paid tier, so light users may be better served by iCloud+ at $0.99 or Proton Drive Plus.
